IceMaker, Safety Instructions and Warnings

Figure 13

IceMaker

The icemaker for the combined refrigerator-freezer is located in the freezer compartment. These instructions only refer to the installation of the ice- maker. Please refer to the Use and Care Manual provided with the appliance for operation instruc- tions. The combined refrigerator-freezer must be level for the icemaker to function properly.

Safety Instructions and Warnings

•Do not install the water connection while the combined refrigerator-freezer is connected to an electrical outlet.

•The connection to the water supply may only be made by a trained and licensed plumber.

•The water quality must comply with the drink- ing water regulations for the geographical area where the appliance is located.

•All equipment and devices used to supply the water to the appliance must comply with the cur- rent regulations for your geographical area.

• The solenoid valve has a metric R3/4 male connector. A R3/4 (metric) to a 1/4" OD adapter is supplied with the ice maker.

• Insert the water strainer provided into the OD adapter with the cavity downwards.

IMPORTANT

Be sure the strainer is inserted with the cavity downwards. Otherwise the strainer could be damaged when mounting the OD adapter onto the solenoid valve.

Connection to the Water Supply

1.Move the appliance towards the final position and leave enough space to work behind.

2.Insert the water supply line into it's intended opening at the back of the appliance (Figure 14).

Water Connection

•The water supply pressure requirements are different based on whether or not the supplied Liebherr water filter is installed. With the filter installed, the pressure must be in the range of 40-90 psi (2.8-6.2 bar). Without the filter installed the acceptable pressure range is 22-87 psi (1.5-6 bar). Failure to meet these require- ments will likely result in ice maker malfunction and possibly cause a water leakage that can damage flooring and surrounding furniture.

•Use a 1/4" OD copper line to connect the water

supply to the solenoid valve. This is not sup- plied with the refrig- erator (Figure 13).

• A shut-off valve, such as the saddle valve

illustrated here, must be installed between

the hose line and the

main water supply so the water supply can be stopped if necessary.

Do not install the shut-off valve behind the refrigeration unit.

3.Move the power supply line to the area of the electrical outlet.

Do not connect to the electrical outlet before the installation is completed and the water line is connected to the solenoid valve.
